Laughable plastic copy of "punk". I'm with Lydon on his views on the band. Mind you it's always those that take other's ideas, water it down and make it bland and acceptable to the masses that get rich.
Punk's very own "Vanilla Ice"

Sorry, but I hear no correlation whatsoever to Vanilla Ice. There's so many changes in a single Green Day song, to deny them any respect as songwriters seems to be a stinky patriot call born of the usual nothing. Don't mean to be rude here, just my honest opinion regarding the musical topic at hand.

'Basket Case'

No, you miss my point, I meant that Vanilla Ice is to rap what Green Day are to Punk. A watered down acceptable version. Music to annoy your parents just a little bit. A safe middle class revolution. It wasn't supposed to be an attack on them, I am sure they are very skilled at what they do. I just find it depressing when originators of styles are left in poverty and obscurity largely whilst those that follow up with bland, acceptable to the masses versions inevitably become rich and famous.
